[Galaxy S II General] Propergood:
I'd recommend *thoroughly* cleaning your USB socket and checking the connector inside is straight (compare to another handset) before paying anyone to fix it... Mine was displaying similar symptoms, turned out my kid had been playing with it and bent the connector slightly out of place while it was plugged in.

I was using stock and rather than notifying USB connected it kept firing MTP restart/media scan alerts randomly.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
In the same instance it's half alive. Schrodinger's phone!!!!! :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
Yeah, i tried to clean charging port but i didn't help. Thanks for idea anyways. I just brought it to repair shop, hopefully they will fix it.

Well, that's true :D
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
Just got it back :) Samsung changed USB port and everything works fine again. 30 euro, not too bad.
[Galaxy S II General] pmpntl:
were you already outside of your warranty?

Anyone in the U.S. know if we can send ours to a Samsung repair center in the states?
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
Read my first post. I voided my warranty by flashing custom kernels/ROMS :-) I know, it's a hardware issue and has nothing to do with custom software, but still...
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
HELL! It makes me sick when we BOOST of being guilty of flashing custom ROMs/Kernels. Where on EARTH is it documented by Samsung that doing so will void the warranty????

IT DOESN'T and you just robbed yourself of those 30 euros of INSISTING SAMSUNG that you have ABUSED your phone and hence it SHOULD be termed as OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIRS! I wish that amount could have gone into a better cause and could have earned you a good will instead of those service center folks probably laughing at you for making a "fool" of your self (no pun intended, please don't feel offended, just trying to make you realize what you have done and are spreading across!).
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
First of all i did not insist anything, calm down a bit. I just went to shop were i bought that phone and showed them what isn't working. Once they saw "yellow triangle" and custom binary count (at 29) i was told that my phone will not be serviced as it has "illegal software" on it unless i will pay for. Also they told me approximate price (~30euro) which is not THAT much for such a repair.

Secondly, even if had had an original firmware on it and custom binary counter at 0 i'd still had to pay for repair as USB port was physically damaged which is not covered by warranty i believe.

And lastly - FAIR PLAY.

PS. Flash some CM7 or MIUI, go to Samsung service center and try to ask them for some repair work, then you'll find out what is "legal" and what is not ;)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Samsung service bulletin is well posted up for a few years custom rom and rooted phones are not acceptable as warranty returns and payment claims will be voided .

Why on earth would Devs warn users of the consequences if it was not true .

I believe Samfirmware had a link to the original Samsung memo .

I am also aware of a number of users posting that they where informed by the service centre that the phone was not acceptable for repair with a custom rom installed .

I have also had personal experience with O2 refusing warranty on a custom rom phone .

I also know enough about consumer protection trade laws etc to understand that Samsung are 100% correct in their refusal to provide warranty on such phones .

However many may take the risk and some of them will get away with it and some may meet an ignorant service guy who just fixes it anyway .

[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
lol 29 hahah
[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
I think it's anything but unfair to use a usb jig.

In my point of view it's our ability to get our right as normal who know what they're doing.

Sammy knew what would happen, when they developed the binary counter and the usb jig.

I mean the usb jig is no hightech piece of hardware. Its just a 300k-ohm which connects pin 4-5.

I think its a way to support us custom rom useres, who are aware of the risks and would try everything on the software side to get the phone working again.
[Galaxy S II General] Skellyyy:
Is there any way you can check your flash counter? I've only ever flashed Lite'ning (to get CWM as it was messing up for me) and a MIUI ROM. Would I be safe to bring it back and get the screen repaired? It has a wicked blue/green hue when tilted to an angle.
[Galaxy S II General] mengsuan:
To check the counter, enter download mode. Then the binary counter is shown on the top left corner.

[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
More information is needed what have you tried?

Also this shouldn't have been a new thread and shouldn't have been in this section.
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
Thanks for getting me in the right area guys. Sorry, wasn't trying to cause any problems.

I have tried the one click version with mt and it never took. Mt even tried doing it for me. I have enabled debugging and dollars each step to the last detail.

I have also tried superoneclick with no success on the install. I'm unaware of how to do it manually.

Thanks
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Have you tried a different computer? Even doing it the manual way will require the same exploit, and more than likely will result in the same outcome.
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
I have not. I will try tomorrow morning on another. Thanks
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Yeah the manual way would more than likely cause the same issue you are doing the same thing the script does
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
Rooted!

Ok, i finally rooted. I have titanium and superuser. I also downloaded and saved gingervolt 1.3 to my sd card. How do I get to the next step?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Reboot into recovery and wipe data, then flash gingervolt, then wipe data. reboot, profit
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
What are the steps to reboot in recovery? I also downloaded gingervolt to my as card but I can't get into my card.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
Am I supposed to download these items with my phone or when it is hooked up to my computer? I used allinoneclick by my. Worked great. I am an extreme noob with this so thanks for walking me through these steps. I do not have the tool kit in my apps
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
How do I get into clockwork mod? I installed and hit recovery. Whenever I hit the menu key, the more option is not there. I'm so confused
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144951

That's for revo toolkit.
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
I have revo toolkit . When I click on reboot, nothing happens.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Did you make sure that cwm was installed? That's what it sounds like.
[LG Revolution] chefmp:
How do I check that?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Its been a while since I have been in the toolkit. There should be a button somewhere that says check recovery or something like that. You could go to the revo toolkit page and look at what the OP put on there sorry I can't really help to much on that.

Sometimes i just give up on a post that i'm composing half-way through, if i can't get the grammar correct.

"Grammar is important.

[Off-topic] iynfynity:
That's one way of using it. You can also use a comma with "and" when you have two complete idea.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Actually, that's one of the instances where you don't use a comma before the "and". It's a total minefield, this one. It's much more complicated than there/their/they're or to/too/two and the majority of people have enough difficulty with them!

Here's a question...

We all know (I assume) about the subtle differences in spelling between English and American English (colour and color; -ise instead of -ize in certain words), but are there any differences in rules of grammar? I suspect not, but I'd also be surprised if there weren't differences of opinion, regardless of how "correct" they are.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Absolutely! It would take a scholar to have the definitive word, and even then i would forgive people for questioning their assessment. After all, there's no 'law' when it comes to the English language, only assumption and dogma.

And it's colour.. not color :rolleyes:

:D

Edit: I was taught at school that "I comes before E, except after C". It turns out there are more examples of the opposite being true, so now teachers are told not to use that any more!

I'm sure this joke works with correctly positioned commas, rather than Capital Letters too. Anybody want to have a crack at making it work?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
A 15W soldering iron should run you around $10 US.

I highly recommend soldering wires on random scrap if this is your first experience at soldering or you're gonna end up with a mess.

Edit: Or you can cut the wires, strip the ends, twist them together and solder (then cover them with heatshrink/electrical tape).

Should be easier for a beginner to do this than solder on tiny pads and remove epoxy from a PCB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riichii:
Thanks, pretty stupid, I didn't think of that. I might not even have to solder at all if i twist them together tightly and then bind them with tape.

So, that I don't have to mess around restoring all my apps and settings can I do a nandroid backup of my current configuration, then use the RUU to upgrade and wipe it, use revolutionary to s-off it, then restore the nandroid backup to get my system back?

Essentially what I want is the system I have now, but with S-off, and am hoping nandroid can make the process quicker.

Thanks for any help.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Well without alpharev, there wouldn't be revolutionary :D

Yes it has full of warnings as this procedure can brick your device. If you are using a ROM with any data2sd or any scripts for moving system and app files to SD then there is also a warning for that.

They say that this procedure will take time specially if you already have a lot of apps installed. And sometimes people get impatient and reboot during the process bricking their phones.

Long time ago when I used this, I did a nandbackup of my current rom, then flashed a fresh Cyanogenmod rom then used alpharev to s-off. It just took me around 10mins or so since there were basically minimal apps installed. Once s-oo procedure is complete, I just did a nand restore afterwards.
